From Seth Godin, Author & Speaker on Marketing Topics:

If you want a hot shower, you’ll need to turn on the hot water a bit before you step inside. It can take a while for the hot water to rise up and clear the cold water from the pipes.

The thing is, though, that if you mistakenly turn the cold water tap instead, it’ll never get hot. No matter how long you wait.

Sometimes, it takes us too long to realize that we shouldn’t wait any longer and might consider checking if we turned on the wrong tap.

Nothing good comes from impatiently jumping from one approach to another, one grand scheme replaced by another. But persistently sticking with a plan that goes nowhere is almost as bad. The art of making a difference begins with thinking hard about when it’s time to move on. The Dip is real, but there are dead ends everywhere.

Yes Seth. Well said. Thank you for being an inspiration to so many with your metaphors!

For my readers: If you are ready to try something new, to replace something that isn’t working, with regard to Digital Marketing, I can help you with that! I fix broken web sites. I redesign web sites that are not working. I implement organic Search Engine Optimization (SEO) and/or paid Search Engine Marketing (SEM) so that web sites I design using WordPress and my Toledo SEO Wizard bag of magic tricks to get google page one top ten search engine rank placement results for clients. Is it “Time to Leap” as Seth wrote? Let’s Talk Soon! See the contact page if you want to ask any questions!
